Netflix might buy roku

[Spiritual Stratocaster]

People still you Roku? I tried to help my dad watch something on his Roku, and I was surprised how much it sucked. I ended up just going to best buy and buying him a firestick.

Fucl you mean Roku got piff

I love I can take my Roku anywhere and instantly have my setup ready to go on any other TV.

If Netflix does buy the company, the user experience better be as clean.

Firestick is straight up trash compared to a Roku. The rewind feature for HBO Max on firestick dont even work right.

The only thing a Firestick is good for is pirating shyt.

I'm a chord cutter with illegal everything. None of this applies to me except Disney and it's subsidiaries because of my stocks. Investing in rokus is a poor choice especially with its limited services.

[TELL ME YA CHEESIN FAM?]

On Wednesday, rumors started swirling that Netflix could be interested in buying Roku in order to help with their upcoming ad-supported tier. While there has been pushback from the analyst community, if the two companies don’t reach a deal, there could be major carriage dispute brewing.

In the last 18 months, Roku has had difficult negotiations with Peacock and HBO Max, which saw both services launch without the support of the largest smart TV platform in the United States. Roku also narrowly avoided losing the Fox Sports App ahead of the 2020 Super Bowl.

But, most recently the company had a prolonged dispute with YouTube TV and narrowly avoided seeing the YouTube App removed from the platform.

If Netflix doesn’t acquire Roku, could this be the next major carriage dispute for the platform?

Historically, Netflix has been such a behemoth that it received special treatment from platforms that would allow the streaming giant to pay less — or nothing at all — for inclusion on platforms or streaming remotes. And when the company didn’t get such sweetheart deals, it could avoid paying platforms by having users sign-up directly on its website and just use the app to log-in and stream.

That won’t be so easy when the SVOD launches its ad-supported tier.

Most platforms, notably Roku and Amazon Fire TV, ask for a portion of ad inventory in exchange for appearing on their platforms. That was a major sticking point in deals for Peacock and HBO Max. In some cases, Roku has even asked for access to content in order to make it available as part of its free ad-supported service, [The Roku Channel].

Now that Netflix is searching for subscriber growth, the streamer doesn’t have the same leverage as it used to, where it might have been able to push back before. If Netflix wants to successfully launch its ad-supported tier, it is going to need partners like Roku and Fire TV. Netflix has never been in this position before, so if the two sides don’t reach a deal, this could very well be the next major dispute between a streaming platform and a streaming service.

we will see but most importantly,nikka who gave you em banners?

Makes no sense, they'd be better off starting their own company and making their own streaming devices, that is what Roku is, just the physical streaming device and Roku itself is trying to enter the streaming war with pluto or roku tv.

shyt like this is why they are going out of business.

If they really have money they'd be far better served buying Sony film and TV and dropping 4 bil for it.
With that they get all Sony produced tv shows, they get all sony film back catalog,
It instally fills their lack of good content and back catalog needs.
They should also look at buying thriller and a24 and small studios, for content and post 30day theater releases.

Their leadership has no vision though

You should apply breh. I been seeing hella Indeed commercials lately, shoot your shot
